Winter Transfer Despair and Bafflement.

[Gooner23]

Over 300 goals if you consider Theo has gone to Everton too.

I agree, I'm not impressed with this. Perhaps it's improving the starting XI but there's no real substantive benefit for the squad unless he gives the younger ones more of a bench chance, which is unlikely.

£18 million for a (near) 20 goal a season striker is just nonsense, especially when you consider his worth with all the late goals he contributes..

I don't really get it either to be honest. It seems like a very Arsenal thing to get into this king of situation. If we'd not dithered over meeting Aubas fee would Dortmund have had enough time to find another replacement that didn't involve Giroud?

[Özim]

We give a whole new meaning to balancing the books, balancing for us is not spending a penny we've earnt.

It'll be 4 out 2 in and one of them we didn't even need, Walcott should have been replaced with a winger (Moura comes to mind) and we needed to get a DM in and a longer term CB (Evans just isn't the answer in a couple years he'll be done and he's not all that in the 1st place).

Disappointing again (isn't it always with Wenger in charge), too little too late once again, I suspect quite a few fans will get caught up in the Aubameyang hype.

Wenker is doing Giroud a favour by giving him an easy way out. That's the only explanation.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

They aren't playing fair, Pep has no money.

Incredible how he has improved these £50m players.

They've spent over £200m this season alone. £168m the season before, £150m the season before that.

He has a tendency of doing that for players he has a soft spot for, has done it in the past (Cesc comes to mind), he might make money but he loses it in other ways. We're over a barrel with this one as we left it so late (as usual) and now we're left with little choice but to sell Giroud for cheap or we won't get Aubameyang. This club is a embarrassment tbh.

They're operating to a budget, clearly.

The majority of their starting line up is made up of players ranging between 30-60m.

Amazing how they've done so well this season...

[Cripps]

Mathieu Debuchy has agreed to join St Etienne and will complete transfer in the coming hours. Has six months left on contract but Arsenal letting him go for free

More money saving... yay

[Niall_Quinn]

Blimey. This could be a very profitable transfer window. One of the best yet.

[Marc Overmars]

City have apparently increased their bid for Mahrez to 55m.

Shameless.

He’s also handed in a transfer request.
